Which subatomic particle plays the greatest part in determining the properties of an element?

Chemistry

lara31 [8.8K]3 years ago

Explanation:

Every atom consists of three sub-atomic particles which are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Inside the nucleus of an atom, there will be only protons and neutrons. Whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom.

But in a chemical reaction it is only the electrons that are able to participate. Whereas protons and neutrons only participate in nuclear reactions and not in any chemical reactions.

For example, H_{2} + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2HCl

These electrons help in determining the reactivity of a substance because every atom wants to attain stability. Hence, they react with other atoms according to their number of valence electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that electrons are the subatomic particle plays the greatest part in determining the properties of an element.

What is the mass of 2.40 moles of magnesium chloride, mgcl2
LiRa [457]

Hey there!

MgCl₂

Find molar mass of magnesium chloride.

Mg: 1 x 24.305

Cl: 2 x 35.453

--------------------  

          95.211 grams

One mole of magnesium chloride has a mass of 95.211 grams.

We have 2.40 moles.

2.40 x 95.211 = 228.5

To 3 sig figs this is 229.

The mass of 2.40 moles of magnesium chloride is 229 grams.

Hope this helps!

The following question appears on a quiz: ""You fill a tank with gas at 60°C to 100 kPa and seal it. You decrease the temperatu
dusya [7]

Answer: The final pressure will decrease ad the value is 85 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=100kPa\\T_1=60^0C=(60+273)K=333K\\P_2=?\\T_2=10^0C=(10+273)K=283K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{100kPa}{333K}=\frac{P_2}{283K}\\\\P_2=85kPa

Hence, the final pressure will decrease ad the value is 85 kPa

HELP ASAP !!!!!
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Explanation:

Take a random sample of nuts from the jar.  Let's take two handfuls, after shaking the jar and mixing the nuts thoroughly.  Separate the nuts into almonds and cashews.  Count each pile, then do the following calculation (these numbers are random, for example only).

                <u> Count</u>   <u>Percentage %</u>

Almonds       38        (38)/(87)x100

Cashews      <u> 49</u>         49/87x100

                      87          87/87 = 100%

Ratio of Almonds to Cashews:  <u>38/49</u>
